Not many want to start early...
My last permy job at a small design studio/consultancy involved driving forty-odd miles down one of the busiest (and therefore most dangerous) stretches of the M1, followed by a tortuous journey from the motorway junction to the city (town? not sure if it's legally a city) centre offices of my employers. Although the MD was quite understanding of this, he was in this respect under the sway of the SD - his business partner, and one of those people who gets up at five in the morning only because their other half won't let them get up any earlier, and who simply cannot understand the fact that they are a freak of humanity, humanity as a whole much preferring the idea of staying in bed until ten or eleven at the earliest.
I almost lost it the time that I'd been held up because of a crash that blocked all three lanes of the M1 and caused several deaths, and was then told that I should have set out earlier in case of that kind of thing...
I think that was the last time I came close to actually losing my temper sufficiently that I would have struck somebody.
I think the MD realised that too, because he quickly withdrew from the discussion (quite rightly blaming it on the weird early rising guy) and no more was said about the matter for quite a while.
And don't get me wrong... I didn't turn up at lunchtime or something - this was because I hadn't made it in until just after half past nine.
(And the MD used to play rugby for England - lovely yet huge chap, and I was rather disconcerted to see him looking at me nervously, as if uncertain how to cope )Comment
